Definitions
- the present invention relates to the window regulator slide block kit for servicing and repairing of an electrically or manually operated window lift regulators and the method for using same. More particularly, it relates to the parts required to servicing and repairing of the window regulators found on 901, 902 and 903 series Mercedes Benz Sprinter and Dodge Sprinter vans, built between 1995 and 2006, Mercedes Benz Sprinter vans built between 1995-2002, Dodge Sprinter vans 2500, 3500 built between 2002 and 2006, Freightliner Sprinter vans 2500, 3500 built between 2002 and 2006 without removing window regulator from the door structure of the vehicle .
- Conventional electrically operated windows are systems designed to raise and lower the vehicles windows via devise called an electric window regulator.
- an electric window regulator for each door with an associated switch.
- the driver's door has a set of switches that allows the driver to operate the power windows in both front doors.
- Manually operated window regulators are also used, and the task of lowering and raising of the window is accomplished by rotating the corresponding window regulator crank handle.
- the raising and lowering mechanisms of the window regulators are installer inside of the in the door structure as well.
- the window's lifting mechanism consists of a linkage designed to lift the window while at the same time keeping the window horizontally leveled.
- An electric motor is attached to a worm gear, a spur gear, and the segment gear of the linkage arm to create gear reduction sufficient to generate enough torque to move the window.
- the window regulator is attached by rivets or bolted to the door frame structure.
- Window regulators linkage arm is fitted with plastic slide block that is riveted to it at one end. Slide block is inserted into a slide block guide channel that is connected to the bottom of the window glass during the door assembly process.
- the radial movement of the window regulators arm transfers into vertical movement of the door window glass through the slide block that moves within and along the length of the slide guide channel at the bottom of the window glass.
- the electric motor of the window regulator is connected to a reversable switch. Activating the electric switch causes supply of the current that causes the motor to rotate the worm gear. Reversing the current flow causes the electric motor to rotate in opposite directions.
- the worm gear is meshed with the spur gears. When the worm gear rotates, the spur gears turn in conjunction with the worm gear.
- the linkage arm has a segment gear at one end with teeth that are meshed with the spur gear.
- the segment gear of the linkage is permanently in mechanical contact with the worm gear. This prevents the linkage arm from the movement and allows the movement when the electric motor is activated.
- the linkage arm is attached to the swivels point pin that of the window regulator motor bracket. Position of the pin provides constant contact of the segmented gear of the linkage.
- the components of the window regulator mechanisms begin working with greater effort that originally designed due to its age, and sometimes the lack of maintenance is a well-known contributing factor. Often it can be because the surfaces of the door window glass rubberized insulation gaskets drying out and having increased coefficients of friction.
- the window class become stuck or harder to move, due in part to a variety of factors such as ice buildup, and exposure to dust, dirt. This can cause the window regulator failure.
- window regulator when slide guide block that is made of the plastic material becomes shattered, causing window regulator arm to disengage from the slide guide channel at the bottom of the window glass, and window drop inside of the door frame.
- the damaged component should be replaced with a new part.
- the plastic slide block is permanently attached by a rivet to the arm, the replacement part only available from the supplier in the form of complete window regulator assembly.
- the repair procedure calls for removal of the entire window regulator assembly form the door and replacing it with the new one.
- the present invention is a method for replacing of the damaged slide block of a window regulator used for operating of the door windows in the w 901, 902 and 903 series Mercedes Benz Sprinter and Dodge Sprinter vans, built between 1995 and 2006, Mercedes Benz Sprinter vans built between 1995-2002, Dodge Sprinter vans 2500, 3500 built between 2002 and 2006, Freightliner Sprinter vans 2500, 3500 built between 2002 and 2006 without removing the window regulator from the vehicle.
- the plastic slide block of the window regulator on these vehicles which has the primary purpose of providing a sliding joint between the lifting arm of a window regulator and the slide guide channel of the window glass, becomes damaged over time due to the stress placed on slide block.
- the user must then take the vehicle to a dealer, independent repair facility, or do the work himself and have the window regulator slide block replaced, which includes replacement of the entire window regulator assembly, at a significant cost.
- the present invention provides for the replacement of the slide block kit, leaving the window regulator assembly in place, without removing the window regulator assembly from the door of the vehicle.
- the replacement slide block for a window regulator will be made from a stronger material to reduce the chance of further damage.
- the replacement slide block for window regulator can be made in the form of a repair kit that will include mounting hardware for the installation.
